Metric Thread – ISO-Standard Threading for Precision Pipe & Mechanical Connections

Metric Threads are the globally recognized thread standard for machined parts, hydraulic systems, fittings, and pressure connections, especially in European and Asian industries. At Perfect Engineers, we manufacture and supply metric-threaded Ball Valves, Fittings, and Adapters that seamlessly integrate into ISO-based piping and mechanical systems, delivering precision fitment, leak-free performance, and international compatibility.

Metric Thread

What is a Metric Thread?

A Metric Thread is a standardized screw thread based on the International System of Units (SI) and governed by ISO 261 and ISO 965 standards. It features:

  • A 60° flank angle
  • Sizes designated in millimeters (e.g., M10 × 1.5)
  • Pitch defined as the distance between threads (in mm)

Metric threads are commonly used in hydraulic fittings, valves, pressure connections, and instrumentation lines.

Key Features of Metric Threads

  1. Used worldwide in DIN/ISO standard systems
  2. Smooth, high-precision connections
  3. Available in coarse and fine pitches
  4. Ideal for hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid control systems
  5. Used in valves, couplings, pumps, Compatible with O-ring or bonded seal sealing methods, meters, and plumbing fixtures

FAQs

No. Metric threads differ in angle, pitch, and sizing. Use converters or adaptors if needed.

Most seal via O-ring face or bonded washer, ensuring a leak-tight, vibration-resistant joint.

  • Coarse: Greater pitch, stronger under load
  • Fine: Better vibration resistance, more precise control

Yes—especially DIN 3852 and ISO 6149 valves, built for hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
